A stellar inlaid eagle sounding block (what a gavel hits), ca. 1970 (?). Spectacular hand-cut hardwood veneers on zebra wood. Hand rubbed oil finish. 5" diameter, 1.75" high. You have to wonder who used this sounding block. A federal judge? A Congressional committee chair? A stunning piece. #americaneagle #soundingblock #inlaidwood #inlaideagle #soundblock #americana #exotichardwoods #gavel #available @iowacityart (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/COooiY2HxEF/?igshid=1k2nptmbqu3pt
